this description from Kiklo does not fit here as difficulty is quite high - 1.77 was last . main point of Kiklo is that difficulty will tank a lot during such an attack

anyway, trying to figure out what to do with time drift parameter

1 minute is reasonable

dev says now - less time drift means more orphans

as to drift attack - it looks as something different here : now no block creation for 34 minutes

edit : 14:55 UTC: limiting time drift would mean : hard fork again?
do we want another hard fork?
for this moments hard fork seems unavoidable if want to decrease time drift


edit:14:59 UTC - now blockchain stopped for 47 minutes already. becoming scary.

edit: 15:01: UTC - which block to use for hard fork ?

edit 15:11 UTC blockchain moves again, no signs of this attack : "just now" and difficulty goes up to 2.03 and going higher.
maybe Kiklo was right about nature of attack

really should be getting more opinions : do we need this one hard fork - with limiting time drift?

please to submit feedback
